S.S. of New Orleans and I talked about sweet potato latkes recently. These two versions are from "Jewish Family & Life."

Makes about 18 to 20

2 pounds sweet potatoes

2 eggs

2 tablespoons matzoh meal or flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

¼ teaspoon cloves

Peanut oil

Peel and grate sweet potatoes and remove any excess moisture (put in dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out moisture). Beat eggs and add 1 at a time, mixing well. Add matzoh meal or flour and baking powder. Add spices and mix well.

Heat oil until hot and use a large spoonful of batter for each pancake. Cook until brown and flip.
